OUR STORY

Stanford Brut’s story begins with Leland Stanford, a visionary entrepreneur and pioneering winemaker who recognized California’s potential for world-class wines. In the 1860s, he and his brother Josiah cultivated vineyards across thousands of acres, believing the state’s rich soils and climate could rival the finest French winemaking traditions. Though his ambitious dream faded after his passing in 1893, his legacy endured.

In 1946, the Weibel Family revitalized Stanford’s original vineyard lands, introducing Stanford Brut “California Champagne” in the 1950s. For nearly a century, it remained an accessible and beloved sparkling wine. Now, under Rack & Riddle’s stewardship, Stanford Brut Méthode Traditionnelle continues this legacy, crafted with the meticulous Méthode Champenoise to honor California’s rich sparkling wine heritage—celebrating the past while toasting to the future.
